We still have no idea when the 2020 NBA Draft will take place but when it finally does, our Detroit Pistons should have a high pick. In fact, the Pistons, according to Tankathon, have a 42.1% of ending up with a top 4 pick when the Draft Lottery ends up taking place.
Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press released his first mock draft on Thursday and he began by running a Tankathon simulation and the Pistons earned the No. 3 pick.
With the No. 3 pick, Sankofa II has the Pistons striking gold and selecting PG LaMelo Ball.
From Detroit Free Press:
The Pistons get their point guard of the future. Ball projects to be the best lead guard in the draft. Standing 6-foot-7, he’s an elite passer and rebounder and a big name who would bring in fans, which could be attractive for an organization that has lacked a young star to build around.Â
There are concerns. Ball shot 37.5% overall and 25% from 3 for Illawarra this season in the National Basketball League. His dad, LaVar, has a reputation for overstepping boundaries. But the Pistons would be foolish to make a safer pick here. Ball is a no-brainer.Â
Nation, if the Pistons land the No. 3 pick, do you agree it would be a “no-brainer” to select LaMelo Ball? If not, who would you target?
